But their current ntracts are up after next season – and durg a recent terview wh Entertament Tonight, Pat hted: “Years go by fast. We’re gettg near the end. “In most televisn shows by this time, you would have said, ‘That’s probably enough,’ but this show will not die,” he told the outlet. “It appears I may go before the show,” Pat add. ” We’re not gonna do this for another 40 years.” That beg said, the ever-lovable Vanna lled the ia of retirg “prsg.” The tone moment after Amy Schneir won Jeopardy!’s 2022 Tournament of Champns.

VALENTE’S GAYS ON ‘WHEEL OF FORTUNE’ + MORE NEWS
I was ’s fely not the first time I’ve been let down by the absence of a gay kiss a spot where a straight kiss almost certaly would have unceremonly and nonchalantly happened. An unniably gay kid om birth (our neighborhood garbage man lled me “queer” after I did a dance for him our ont yard my Unroos when I was 5), I always knew that I wasn’t like the rt of the boys and, worse, I didn’t know if there was anyone else the world who felt like I was the ’80s — years before queer adoptn was legal or marriage equaly was realized or we h the “transgenr tippg pot” — and mastream LGBTQ+ reprentatn wasn’t what was today.
I got a job at Out, a gay magaze, and then joed HuffPost 2011 to lnch Queer Voic (origally Gay Voic), the first LGBTQ+ sectn at a mastream news se. The Boy Suts allowed openly gay troop lears. Bee although we had seen so much progrs such a short amount of time — the gay rights movement has been referred to as “the most succsful social csa recent Amerin history” and s strategi have even been -opted by other social movements — an elemental and much too prevalent fear and loathg of queer people remaed, pecially middle Ameri.
Hours after the attack, the shooter’s father claimed his son might have been set off by seeg two gay men kiss ont of his fay. Which is why I so sperately want to see gay kiss on “Wheel of Fortune.
